“Mandati per annunziare ai poveri il lieto messaggio” è il tema della Veglia Missionaria Diocesana, organizzata dalla Diocesi di Roma tenuta ieri sera (15 ottobre 2015) nella Basilica di San Giovanni Laterano, presieduta dal Cardinale Vicario Agostino Vallini. I numerosi fedeli che hanno quasi riempito la Basilica hanno ascoltato la testimonianza di Sua Em.za il Card. Luis Antonio Tagle, Arcivescovo di Manila, di un laico dalla martoriata terra di Siria e di un volontario dal Nepal, paese tragicamente colpito dal terremoto. La celebrazione ha avuto il suo momento più importante con il Rito del Mandato missionario a una ventina di missionari (religiose/religiosi e famiglie), tra i quali vi erano anche i nostri due Confratelli: P. Roy Thomas Moothedath, inviato in Angola e P. Sabu Pariyadan, inviato a Londra. Ciascuno ha ricevuto la consegna del crocifisso e del Vangelo. Mentre ringraziamo questi missionari per la loro generosità, accompagniamoli con la nostra preghiera affinché siano veramente messaggeri di salvezza e di pace, con il sostegno della potenza e della grazia del Signore.

Dearest Fathers and Brothers,







The Rogationist St. Thomas Quasi Province has sent two of the religious students, Bro. Rinu and Bro. Jomon, to the national seminary at Kandi, Sri Lanka for their theological studies. Fr. Vinu Velutheppilly, the councillor responsible for the sector of formation joined Fr. Varghese Panickassery, responsible of the Sri Lanken mission, for the inaugural celebration of the academic year on October 01, 2015. Most Rev. Dr. Noel Emmanuel, the new shepherded of the diocese of Trinomalee, Sri Lanka, presided over the opening Eucharistic celebration. Fr. Elmo Dias, the rector of the seminary addressed the staff and students, The rector, quoting the Holy Father, Francis said, "We live in an age when we are constantly being enticed by vain and empty illusions of happiness, we risk settling for less and "thinking small" when it comes to the meaning of life." These illusions can also enter into the minds of 'young men who have kept their hands on the plough.' Therefore, we need to constantly remind the young seminarians who were selected by the Master himself to follow Him and to stay on course with eyes fixed on Jesus, 'without being afraid of or distracted by the strong worldly winds, which makes them sink'. The two brothers are accommodated in the scholasticate of the blessed sacrament fathers in the same campus of the seminary. In the evening we had an encounter with Fr. Justin Chowhan, the director of the scholasticate to discuss the formative program of the brothers together with the blessed sacrament scholastics and to clarify the terms and conditions with the two congregations. Fr. Varghese Panickassery will accompany the two brothers in their theological formation to priesthood.
